That Canon R5 jpeg seems to have a compression ratio of 3.7.

I have trouble finding any jpeg images from my DP2m that would have as high or higher compression ratio. The average (median) of my DP2m jpegs seem to be about 20MB, in rare cases above 25MB and once almost 30MB (via some deliberate tweaking in Sigma PhotoPro).

And visually I would still prefer a well lit scene captured by DP2m than by Canon R5, at least based on the R5 images that I have seen.

I would certainly be interested in a new Foveon successor to DP2m, especially if it were optimized for 8k (TV) screen resolution, given that it won't cost (much) more than DP2m did.
